Spicy Soba Noodles

Monday Night Spicy Soba Noodles (Gluten-Free & Vegan Option Included)

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/spicy-soba-noodles • Posted by Kristina S.

When it comes to gluten-free noodles, Soba (buckwheat noodles) are my favourite. They have a firm texture, and a nutty flavour, not to mention the noodles are nutritionally packed in comparison to other gluten-free noodles. Initially, when I made this recipe, I used chicken, but today I have adapted this amazing noodle dish to a vegan recipe so everyone can enjoy it. In addition, I made a spectacular sauce that will make you drool, tying everything together perfectly. For Monday night dinner, I love this spicy soba noodle dish because I can have it on the table in less than 30 minutes. Enjoy! * For vegan option substitute chicken for; 12 oz. GF vegan burgers, broken down into small pieces or 350 g (12 oz.) extra firm GF tofu, cut into cubes
